So, I built a new #GoToSocial instance and have migrated back. A few things have brought me back since my last GoToSocial instance:
- Editing of statuses. This is one of the big ones and it arrived in v0.18.0. In the past, I had to delete and repost -- a lot since I make a lot of mistakes. Being able to edit is a big thing.
- MFA. More security is always best.
- Ivory support. Nothing that the GoToSocial folks control, but @ivory finally got support for alphanumeric post ID's which means that I can finally use it with GoToSocial.
This is on top of previous things that I liked about GoToSocial:
- Ease of maintenance. It's so easy to install, so easy to maintain and easy to backup.
- Low system requirements. I can run it on a low cost VPS.
- Pretty profile page. I really like the profile page layout on GoToSocial vs #Mastodon. The GoToSocial profile is clean and is completely focused on the person. The Mastodon profile is a bit messy with instance stuff in the left and right columns; and profile in the center.
There's some stuff I'm still looking forward on GoToSocial. The biggest one would be the ability to prune posts, both personal and for instance.
